are the subs connected internally or do i have to take the subs out and connect them?

One terminal on the box for voth subs. That are internally wired together. These subs are the best subs ive ever owned.

Subs are wired and ready to blow...the box is a 2ohm setup so there is just one connection on the side for 1 channel so you need an amplifier that can push 2 ohms

There is a connection for an external amp in the back of the unit. You just have to purchase an amp wiring kit separate. The RCA's just plug into the back and the blue remote power just wires to the blue remote on the wiring harness. As for the sub controls, just press the "volume" knob in once and scroll until you find them. It actually labeled subwoofer. Hope this helps!

The unit only has one sub connection. Scrapped mine after a few months, kept shutting down. Best thing I did was replace it with a Blaupunkt amp. Cost half as much and never had another problem.My speaker system is Infinity and they are great, this reference amp is garbage.

The previous answers are good. Page 32 of the manual gives a picture of the connections on the back of the receiver. I have a B&W; subwoofer connected without problems.Eric S

John, According to the R-S201 owners manual there is no SUB OUT connection. You would have to use a receiver with a sub out connection. There is a work around that is more than I can describe here.

I never use a y connect. I fear of interfering with signal integrity. The Subwoofer wiring is soldered to the circuit board using silver, copper, or such conductors. I can't say the same about a y connect

my understanding is the internal processor acts as any other crossover would enabling you to tie in a separate sub

Yes, actually to the subwoofer. The sub is serving as the middle man persay. One set of wires connect from the sub to the reciever. Then a set of wires connect from the sub to the speakers.

Wire your speakers normal. But drop the resistance on the sub. It should push it no problem

Any subwoofer occupies a single "channel" from the receiver - one that combines the low bass outputs from right and left channels. Thus, one standard cable is usually sufficient. Do check the rear panel of your receiver/home entertainment power unit. It should have one output receptable labeled "subwoofer" or something similar. That is where the plug from the speaker goes. Since bass frequencies are not localized by our ears, there is no need for 2 subwoofers or separate cables to connect them. If the subwoofer has separate input jacks for the right and left channels (labeled and usually color coded) - which is very unlikely - you would need two such cables, plugged into the auxiliary R and L low level outputs from your receiver's pre-amp outputs (labeled)!

Both are two ohm outputs; however, if you are only connecting one sub, use left - and right +. This was confusing for me also, at first.

Sub is active and does not need an amp but the remaining speakers will need a separate amp.

If your tops are powered then use the output of the sub set for HPF. If they are passive - run the HPF out of the sub to the input of the amp

Yeah, they are wired to each other. The main speaker takes the power input. It consists of two speakers; the main and subordinate ones. About 1.2meters between them, I guess.

The answer is yes.You can connect both: powered and non powered subwoofers.

Subwoofer should connect automatically. If not, I believe there's a connect button on sub.

Use the line level connection for the best sound. Sub has its own power and can be tuned to match your system.
